Dear Users,
here is what i do: in a template i use a href on a picture.

<a href="internal-page-name/"><img src="path-to-the-image" width="xx" height="xx" alt="alternate-title" title="title" /></a>

When i click on the picture i am always forwarded to the internal-page-name with the configured standard language.
I couldn't find a way to fix this problem.

I'm switching languages by adding the local to the URL e.g. http://www.silverstripe.org/?locale=fr_FR

If i do not add a locale in the href, the href will forward to the default locale. I want the link to 'recognize' the selected language and forward accordingly.
This should be possible if i used a cookies- or sessions-variable for the language. Unfortunately i don't know how to implement it in a at least half-descent way.

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately i could not get your code working.

Now i added
      /* handling of locales */
      function getCurrentLanguage() {
         $curLang = Session::get('currentLang');
         $localeString = "";
         
         if ($curLang == "de") {
            $localeString = "de_DE";
            return $localeString;
         }

         elseif ($curLang == "en") {
            $localeString = "en_US";
            return $localeString;
         }
         elseif ($curLang == "fr") {
            $localeString = "fr_FR";
            return $localeString;
         }

to the init function of the controller. Is this valid php? Could you give me a hint on how to call a function from within a template?

Thanks again!
Here is what i did:
In the page class i added a function:

   function getCurrentLanguage() {
      return Translatable::get_current_locale();
   }   

In the template i just call the function: <a href="URL/?locale=$getCurrentLanguage">
